I read with interest the annoucement over in .lego about www.pabtrak.com and, having visited the home page and read what the site aims to achieve, I thought I'd let you all know about what we in the Brickish Association have been using to track (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.general) !

(...) They state that an order is being placed this week for new PaB parts, to be fulfilled sometime after mid-June. So nothing new will probably be in the mix until then, according to LLW. best LFB (22 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.legoland.billund, lugnet.legoland.deutschland)

| | Bricks and the Draft
|
|
All LEGO bricks are designed to have a 'draft'; they're very slightly narrower on one end than the other to help get the brick out of the mold. I examined some 1x2 bricks fresh out of the brand-new 4496 tubs tonight, and discovered that all of the (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) The tiles would definitely look better, but none came with the set, & since I had started it as a one-set-only-moc, i tried to make it better within that set. Thanks! Jeff (22 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Well, glad to see i'm not alone (for a change...). I agree 100% with you both (and with Ted Michon as well). This color change might be not reversible (1). So will not be my feelings about TLC. I'm very disappointed with this unexcusable color (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.general)

I can't stand Bionicle and they both know this, yet they both love Bionicle (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

OK, I did the best I can with the pics. While I can't get the overall tint of the pics to match real life, I think they show the multiple shades well enough. I brightened them a bit to get them closer to real life, but brightened the entire pic, I (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general, lugnet.color)

It looks like one stud of the 1x6 plate is holding up the side mirro - so how about doing a 1x4 tile and then a 1x2 plate, then but a 1x2 grille-tile on top of the exposed stud (...)
